I am so excited to announce that I have not only got one but two new Street Photography walks starting next year to complement the one I already run for Going Digital in the West End & Soho. These are King’s Cross to Camden via the Union Canal & Liverpool Street to Box Park via Brick Lane.
Premiering on February 25th is the first one. We will meet in a cafe at King’s Cross for a brief hello and an introduction about the day ahead to then move on to explore the hustle and bustle around Coal Drop Yard before heading out along the Union Canal. Taking in the old Gas Works, Street Art & Canal Boats. Upon arrival in Camden and after a pitstop and catch up to see how the day is going i shall guide you through the perimeters of the colourful and milling streets around Camden, up to Chalk Farm and back taking in people, stalls and the vibrancy and then finishing outside the Market where further exploration can continue after we are done if you so fancy.
I shall be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions you might have as well as sharing how I see the world through a lens. To show you how to work with the ever changing light and shadows in the different areas along the route, how to interpret the environment, set the scene, use the colourful back drops, and colour-matching to set the mood for your images as well as feeling comfortable photographing in crowds.
For fun we will set some tasks to capture throughout the day as it is great fun to compare at the end as everybody sees the world very differently. despite being in the same place at the same time. Examples from past walks has been ‘holding hands’, a trio of blue’, window cleaner’', a pointing hand’ and so on…

The second one kicks off on March 25th . We shall meet in a cafe at Liverpool Street for a quick hello and an introduction to the day ahead. The walk shall then commence and we will move along the back streets, skirting Petticoat Lane and Spitalfields Market for some street art and grit to get to Brick Lane. We will then stroll along it and pop in and out of the adjacent streets as well as Allens Garden for colourful murals (we might even see one being painted there and then) as well as funky characters that are frequenting all the little shops and bars with windows that are great for reflections.. A pitstop for some refreshments and to see where we are at and see how everybody are doing. I shall then guide you down Red Church Street, if time permits pop across to the area around the Citizen M hotel to later end the walk by Box Park & Shoreditch High Street train station

Last but not least, I also do one to one mentoring experiences in varied areas of London.. A day that we decide on together as to what, where and when with full flexibility on day and start time so weather and light can be right for the experience you want. I have done previous days in Camden, London Bridge, the Square Mile, Soho, Shoreditch but plenty of other areas to pick as well.
Five hours of exploring with me on hand, to guide you through the light & shadows, working on the framing, using backdrops and colour and to use the environment around you to set a scene. How to feel comfortable and brave on the street and crowds and to immerse yourself fully in the moment for a mindful experience, forgetting everything else around you.
